The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Hello to this awesome community

Hello!

I've just discovered the Guild (ironically after my first attempt at a map), and I have to say I'm blown away. The resources, community spirit and talent here are amazing and you've all definitely inspired me to do more!

The name's James but everyone online calls me Larry *waves*. Once I get back home, I'll post up my (very bad) world projection, to get a few comments.. and then start working on version 2.0 probably shamelessly stealing from every tut i can find on here.

Thanks again for the inspiration y'all,
